He was never a republican and "resigned" as one to become an independant. Thank goodness.
What are you TAWWWWWKIN’ about?
Bloomberg was born a Jewish liberal democrat from NYC, day one, dude. He only switched to “Republican” (and very liberal republican at that) because Mark Green beat him to the democrat nomination. Moreover, if it wasn’t for Giuliani campaigning his butt off for Bloomberg, because Giuliani hated Mark Green soooooo much, Mark Green had a very good chance of winning. I don’t remember the numbers, but it was close. Also, Green had one faux pax in the campaign that was a turn off for a lot of NYC voters. It was either the very negative campaign tactics or a very hateful remark he made.
He’s continued a lot of Giuliani’s policies and I think he his management of the NYC finances might make Bloomberg look like a fiscal conservative. Otherwise, with the smoking ban, and trans fat ban, and similar crap, he’s a liberal’s wet dream. Moreover, a President Bloomberg (perish the thought)would just be an extension of the blood sucking economic policies that strengthen China and weaken America. He would be real weak on sealing off U.S. borders from illegal aliens too. Pro-choice, pro-gun control. Yeah, a liberal wet dream.
